What a story. I’m sure I’ve blogged about that before, ah yes: “Eddie & Comic-Con“. Talked about my fetish for Ian Curtis and his suicide. Not my bag anymore. But the province of young men is to be entranced by angst and deify intense feelings. I’m a big fan of intense feeling myself, but not to the exclusion of rational self-examination.

How are Eddie's kids doing? They must be teenagers by now? I agree with you. Ultimately it's selfish. You decide that your need to end your pain is more important than the devastation and grief you will leave your family with. I can only guess that people in those situations are too immersed in their pain to think of others or they push themselves over the edge with drugs. I still like Joy Division, but my friends who didn't grow up listening to it, don't get what's so great about it ;). Very sad. How are Eddie’s kids doing? They must be teenagers by now?
